rotate in direction of force
« on: September 30, 2015, 02:17:05 PM »
I am getting old so I would need some advice.

I have an object and I want it to rotate and face the direction of the movement (physics based).

Any ideas..

Hi,

 Use the velocity ( GetVelocity action ) of the moving object, this is the direction to look at. Since the velocity always points where the object is moving.

Bye,

Hi,

thanks but it was quicker and easier to find a code snippet on the net than understanding everything i have to do..  ::)

I made an action of it: http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=11284.0
